Sleep Dentistry or sedation dentistry is a new method in the field of dentistry wherein the dental procedure is performed by specifically trained dentists called sedation dentists or sleep dentists.
The patient is sedated by a sleeping pill an hour before the procedure so that the patient is totally relaxed. If needed, another pill is taken. When the sedation wears off, the patient wakes up never feeling the pain and the discomfort associated with the procedure.
Sleep dentistry is safe. Before the sleep dentist begins work, he or she will thoroughly review the patient's medical history, and then monitor the patient closely during the entire sleep dental treatment.
It has been used safely in millions of dental procedures especially for people who are anxious or afraid of dental procedures.
